I have no idea, incidentally, who the random Stacey Rauch person is that the #NewYorkPost quotes at such length, nor why xyr opinions are given such prominence.
Gabrielle Fahmy has been quoting Rauch as xyr main opinion on #NewYorkCity traffic since at least June 2025, and possibly longer (I didn't check very far back.), though.
Rauch was also opposed back then (months before Mandami was elected — before even the primary) to the busway on 34th Street.

@cstross@wandering.shop To add to the fun: In the 2 decades since that stock photo was taken, the bus lane along #Broadway to #SpringStreet is now an offset busway (separated from the on-street parking) with red asphalt that it is illegal for cars to use except for access, cars now only having 2 lanes. So it's not just malicious compliance for the ambulance, but also for subtly highlighting how public transport has already been improved and cars reduced. @vwestlife@mastodon.social @georgetakei@universeodon.com #NewYorkCity #BusLanes
